The sequel, not so much.
Then I saw his videos.
I’ve not met Dave, but I’ve met ‘his’ NoK many times, as they stared down at the mortal remains of their loved one, if lucky, intact but cold, if unlucky, what my report would call, ‘disrupted’. If really unlucky, it wasn’t staring down at but looking around for.
If I was still in that role, I’d be aiming to meet Dave for a beer, so that I could really relate to his family when the time came. I’m pretty confident it would be time well spent.
I’d be planning to meet the Moloney daughter too, she looks a good bet to beat Dave to the final unmade entry in the logbook.
What filter, what common sense, what awareness or humility is missing from these people?
…and yet, I did know Eric Swaffer. A finer and more complete aviator you could not hope to meet. A true master of his craft, the man you’d want in the flight deck if you knew things would go south. Look where that got him. Proving that fate, truly, is the hunter, and fate hunts indiscriminately.
In memoriam all those lost in and to aviation. I have no god, but if they do, I hope their god is with them.
So what is wrong with The Moloney girl's videos ?
